We have been getting a lot of positive feedback about the music in the last few releases, slower and softer but still driving. This release is more of the same! The Tai Chi track has one of the loveliest modern sounds we’ve had so far in this position, and it just gets better from there. The most challenging Track 3 in a while – we didn’t need to lengthen it – you’ll see why! The dual Track 4’s are great examples of old and new – guess who choreographed each one? And the core challenge this round will knock your socks off – if you’re crazy enough to be wearing any. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to BODYBALANCE 76! We choreographed this release while on holiday... can you tell? It’s smooth and slow and accompanied by a lot of upbeat music – it’s really pretty lovely, even if we do say so ourselves! Highlights include a fast Vinyasa Sun Salutations track, guaranteed to get you very warm, a double Standing Strength hit – both so good that we couldn’t decide which one to use so gave you both – and possibly the hardest yet simplest Track 6 ever... you’ll love it – eventually :) Enjoy J&D

BODYBALANCE 74 is more of what you’ve come to expect – soft, soulful tracks mixed with a little bit of fresh
modern music, all wrapped up with slower, but still challenging, choreography.

Highlights for us this round are Track 1 (isn’t that song something else?), Track 4 – try not to cry, we couldn’t help it – and Track 9, an old favorite of Jackie’s. Go for the challenges in Tracks 3, 6 and 7 to get stronger and faster and find more flexibility from Tracks 2, 5 and the beautiful Track 8.
We really love this one, and hope you do too.

BODYBALANCE 72 is a series of sweet Swedish delights (we filmed in Stockholm, you’ll see).

The music is another release of soft and smooth with some massive hits thrown in to encourage your class to sing along, and to get
stuck in your head while you’re driving.

Our favorites this round would have to be the intense drama of Track 1, the complexity building into mastery of Track 4, and the cool,
fresh-sounding Track 7.
We hope you love this class as much as we loved making it for you.

Here is the release you’ve been looking for! We were completely inspired by the music this round, and the release is absolutely gorgeous. Take a deep breath... there is a lot of modern music. But don’t worry – it’s soft, smooth and utterly beautiful. You will get warm unbelievably fast in the Tai Chi track, but then soften down into full relaxed mode in Track 2. Then we build you back up in the two Standing Strength tracks, before finding your ultimate edge in the Balances.

Warning: this is a BIG challenge. You may need a little humor in this one :) But Track 5 is possibly the most soulful, internal Hip Opener track we have ever given you – our favorite. We simply couldn’t decide who was to teach it this round... so we both are.

Then the usual intense Core tracks with a wonderful challenge in the Back track, followed by some subtle Twists and the calmest-of-the-calm Forward Folds. Anthony Deyn’s voice is like caramel to melt you down. Enjoy and try to replicate! We hope you love this class like we do – thank you. Love Jackie and Diana

Welcome to calm. This release will soothe your mind, and slow your body. We are seriously hooked on the idea of new Yoga – powerful and deep, modern and uplifting – and hope you are too.

But in saying this, Track 1 takes you fully into breath with traditional Tai Chi sequencing and soft French sounds. Follow this with an exciting take on Where Have You Been and you will surely be ready to Try some intense Twisting Strength poses.

Track 6 is seriously one of the best songs of all time – we BOTH agree, which is a rarity. Feel the beat, learn the lyrics – get your rap on! Then slow down again as Jackie takes you through three tracks of pure coaching Magic. Trust the Yoga master...

Welcome this round, the release is an interesting one, it is big and bold at times, then soft and internal. It moves form physically challenging, big strength poses through to intuitive long hard stretches that will open you and challenge you even further. To us it speaks to being courageous and explorative taking a chance and expanding your Yoga.

The music is lifting big – powerful songs from the beginning create connection and internality. The music drives you in the direction that each track is supposed to take so go with it is easy to lose yourself throughout the class especially in Tracks 4, 5 and the sublime 6.

Welcome to BODYBALANCE® 58 To be honest this is one of my favorite releases of all time. I have taken the choreogrpahy in a slightly different direction this time, to suit the differnt music. Don't worry it is very simple and enjoyable. It just comines normal BODYBLANCE moves in New and unique ways.

As always everything comes from the music. And beginning with a mind/body version of Feeling Good in a clear indication of just how different and amazing the music is going to be.

Now glance at track 4 and Somebody That I Liked to Know. This track can be described with only one word quirky. The feel is different from a regular track 4 and the choreography blows that. Try to go with the slightly uncomfortable almost ugly feel of the movements. Trust me it is enjoyable once you get it.

Just what an amazing song.

But track 5 is one of my favorites, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic is apply named. the track is beautiful and uplifting and just a little but magic;. Bring your class with you in the gorgeous flowing journey, I love it.

And the 8/9 combination is like nothing else. Paradise Into Your Song will make you feel for anything life throws at you.

BODYBALANCE ® 57 is a wave of calm to wash your stresses away. You will notice that the music is softer and more internal, and you can use this to your advantage to bring your class to an even deeper level of mind-body connection. The release features some truly amazing tracks Set Fire To The Rain and Whole Lotta Love bring a slightly rocky edge to an otherwise smooth track list.

Choreography is simple and, once again, internal. Features include a powerful Sun Salutation, a gorgeous Balance sequence to Shelter, one of my new favorite songs, and undeniably fun core training that will work your abs and back to the extreme. I hope this release will become one of your favorites, as it is mine.

Welcome to BODYBALANCE® 56. This is truly an experience you will not forget. We have combined big, beautiful songs and simple choreogrpahy to create something magical. We begin with a Tai Chi Warmup that requires full body expression - you will find yourself truly immersed in the music as you follows Corey's expert coaching. Best thing I have ever had accompanies the immensely difficult Track 3 and there will be allot of learning for you to help your members get through. A key word is composure. Someone Like You sets the stage for a magnificent emotive Balance track. Diving forward just feels right here. Dave leads you through a euphoric Track 5. He takes you to the edge of discomfort but always stays in the open space. Two beautiful love songs occupy the core slots and it will take faith, love and a bit of grit to get trough, but it's worth it as the last three tracks are wonderful. Somewhere Only We know leads into Running up that Hill, which flows into Angel - three very different sounds that give you a wonderful twist and stretch, and a journey through even more emotive musical pieces. Remember to connect with the primal heartbeat in Track 9 -let it guide, not over shadow you

Welcome to BODYBALANCE® 55; we’re delighted you could join us for this release. Smooth is the name of the game in Track 1, as you focus on warming through the upper body with graceful, encompassing movements. Track 2 sees you complete Sun Salutations to a funky, beat-driven song which helps wake up and energize your whole body. There’s a dramatic turn ahead in Track 4, where the drama of the song I’m No Angel is matched by the choreography of the poses. Let your body fill with Love, Love, Love in Track 5 as you enjoy the sheer beauty of the song you are exercising to. Allow your body and mind to be overwhelmed with the feeling of happiness that this special song generates. Tracks 6 and 7 offer a complete core workout which really pack a punch. The combinations of moves in these two tracks are so effective, they have the power to change your functional strength in a positive way. Track 8 is your final opportunity for one last challenging pose, the Standing Balance Twist. There are modification options available to modify this move if you wish to gradually build into this demanding pose. Surrender to the beautiful song Scarlet, written by Kiwi singer-songwriter Brooke Fraser, in Track 9a, allowing it to take you to a place of absolute stillness. Before you know it, it’s time for the class to dissolve away into the relaxation and meditation phase, guiding you to a place of calm before re-entering the world again, filled with Pure Light.

Let your ‘me’ time begin as you follow a warmup featuring a different balance of flowing and more energetic moves. Enjoy the abundant and flowing Tai Chi movements as they encourage you to connect breath, body and mind. Following on is the Sun Salutations track which is set to the 2011 remake of Frozen. It features a new Yoga transition where you step or jump in and out of the Forward Fold. Track 4 is a highlight track that sees a pose evolved in three different ways, advancing and developing each time it changes, encouraging you to sink deeper into it and your practice. Next, it’s time for the Hip Openers track, set to Every Time It Rains. Just like the rain, this track is full of movements with a beautiful, mesmerizing feel to them. Now it’s time to channel attention on your core. Enjoy the sounds of Rolling In The Deep while your body transitions through a composition of moves that combine to make the ultimate complete core workout. Take pleasure listening to the heart-rendering remake of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face in Track 9. Let your mind lift up into the music as you enjoy a series of Forward Bends that loosen your hamstrings and energize your body. Then it’s time to enter the stillness of the Meditation track and, eventually, bring your awareness back into the room and re-enter the world.

Invite your class to take some time out of their busy days and find a tranquil place in BODYBALANCE® 52. Your Tai Chi Warmup is more energetic and powerful than usual. Taking you into a new sequence of moves sees you paying homage to the Daylight in Sun Salutations, before joyfully opening up your heart to Give Love through Standing Strength. You’ll need to trust yourself during an intense Balance routine. Feel the elegance and extravagance... if your legs are shaking, they’re doing a great job! Pretty soon, you’re heading into an abs track billed as the most challenging in the history of the program, which is saying something, starting with a Pilates Roll Up for mobility and core strength. If that isn’t enough, you’ll soon make the acquaintance of Lola, a move that will severely test your pelvic strength and stability... and have you celebrating with joy when you finally nail it! If you’re happy, why not tell yosur face  Stretch out those tummy muscles by switching attention to your back, then release with some liberating Twists. Forward Bends start slowly in Gorilla Pose, but build dramatically to an enormous climax and finish beautifully with the Arm Circles you first tried in the Warmup. As the workout winds down, you can take this opportunity to be at your most expressive. But before returning to your real lives, make sure to thank your bodies for allowing you to relax a while and make a promise to yourself to return this way soon.

Beautiful smooth,fluid movements are the signature of this 51st release form BODYBALANCE®. The transition between moves is almost a important as the poses themselves - you're working but it should all feel very relaxed. The Tai Chi Warm-Up in Track 1 gets things flowing with the aptly-named song Breathe leading you through some lovely big circling sweeps of the arms and body to warm you up slowly. We move into Yoga with Gorecki and the songs slow build provides the perfect backdrop for Sun Salutations immerse yourself into your breath as you rise with the swell of the song though each inhalation and exhalation. Enjoy a change of scenery with the cute love song I'm Yours in the Balance Track. Be prepared for a few wobbles in this one when you first start out. The travel to New York where Empire State of Mind urges you on through those slow deepening lunges. Track 6 and 7 provide some contrast to the drama of the songs around them and will really give you core abdominals and back a great workout Then celebrate with Twists in Track 8, set to the 2010 FIFA World Cup theme song - Sign Of A Victory. No vuvuzelas here please. Hamstrings time and we welcome back the Dolphin Pose, which provides a deep big stretch for your shoulders and legs as you push your body back. Then lie back and indulge in some well earned Relaxation and Meditation.

BODYBALANCE® is turning 50 and it's never been better with a sublime blend of music and choreography that takes you deep into the Yoga experience. Sade warms things up in Track 1 as we ease through a series of simple moves to the deep tribal feel of Soldier Of Love. Standing Strength will have you stretching to new limits with a reworked expression of the Warrior 1 stretch – the Lateral Bend. Fortunately, old favorites The Script are on hand to help make anything seem possible with their track Breakeven. We're joining the stars of "Avatar" for Track 4 and it's not just Leona Lewis' uplifting song I See You that's courtesy of the award-winning movie. Jackie Mills has also played with the themes, and references the story of the Navi in the choreography. Track 4 introduces Ujjayi Breathing which is new to BODYBALANCE® but a fundamental practice in Yoga. Imagine your throat narrowing as you use the technique to release stress and calm your body. The two Core Tracks get straight to the point and are focused on what they do best – working the abdominals and back – before Please Don't Stop The Rain leads us into a Down Dog Twist in Track 8. This is an advanced move but give it a try. The feeling you get when you master this is incredible – you're grounded on one arm and get a beautiful twist through the spine. There's plenty of drama in the Forward Bends – with a dramatic move to match – and then the emotion of The Bliss' track, 100 Thousand Dancers, provides the perfect bridge into the final Relaxation.

This release comes to you from the heart. You will feel light and uplifted as you journey through song after song filled with beautiful lyrics. Conjure One's Extraordinary Ways sets the mood in the Tai Chi Warmup. Feel the energy of this wonderful music during the Arm Swings and Archer movements before coming into calmness for the Arm Circles. The fun continues in Track 3's Live Like We're Dying. Lose yourself in the feeling as you work through these Standing Strength moves and work on bringing life and vitality to every pose. Play with chart-topping Fireflies in Track 5 and look out for two fun new moves. This song was the most downloaded song on iTunes in the USA when it was released. Work confidently and Just Say Yes to the emotion of Track 7 and move towards the optional Back Bend. We finish with a chilled-out remake of White Flag and a Pyramid Pose. Surrender and enjoy.

This collection is the best of past releases - especially for the Australian Instrsuctors who transitioned from PPCA to PPCA Free release. It is a compilation that gave instructors who have only two releases to instruct from to extend their new library of releases.
